Wang Ru took a deep breath. The fifty taels didn't even make a splash. She was angry. The Zhou family had kicked her out, and she couldn't just stay and leave. Shi Qing sent a servant to come, and she didn't want to arouse Shi Qing's suspicion. She looked at Zhou Xuehan with a twinkle in her eyes, "In the past, I only had Xuehan as my friend in the village. When I go to Pingzhou in the future, Xuehan can come to find me if she has the chance to go to Pingzhou."
She always wanted to know why Zhou Xuehan appeared in the capital and no longer looked like a country girl. Unfortunately, she was in trouble now and had no way to find out. However, in this life, she could change her thinking, make friends with Zhou Xuehan and take the opportunity to find opportunities in Zhou Xuehan.
Xue Han, "... You hurt your forehead, not your brain. When did we become close friends? We haven't been in touch for a long time. I'm a decent girl, I hope you don't talk nonsense."
She was very angry. Wang Ru's reputation was so bad, and she still wanted to get close to her before leaving. Wang Ru had a really vicious mind.
Wang Ru, “… . . . .”
Yes, she forgot that she had ruined her own reputation. The corners of her mouth twitched, thinking that she had ruined herself. Then her face turned a little dark. She realized that Zhou Xuehan had a very poisonous tongue. He almost said that she was mentally ill.
Xue Han was unhappy, and continued with pursed lips: "I hope you will be honest and do your duty in the future, and stop looking for higher ground when you can only climb higher ground. Just take care of yourself!"
After saying this, Xue Han calmed down. Wang Ru disgusted her, and she also disgusted Wang Ru. So she deliberately said in front of Mr. Shi's servant that the servant would learn her words when he got back. She didn't believe that Wang Ru was dishonest. As a man, no one wants his woman to have an affair.
Wang Ru tried her luck and felt dizzy again. The Zhou Xuehan in her memory became blurred, but the current Zhou Xuehan was imprinted in her mind. This person was not a good person, and every word she said was nonsense. Thinking of Shi Qing's servant, she pursed her lips. If she stayed any longer, all her efforts these days would be in vain. It was true that the Zhou family was unlucky for her!
Wang Ru stood up and held her forehead, "I feel a little dizzy, let's go!"
Zhang Sanni lowered her head and curled the corners of her mouth, asking for humiliation. At the same time, she envied Zhou Xuehan in her heart. Who in Zhoujia Village didn't envy Zhou Xuehan!
Before Wang Ru even walked out of the door, Li said cheerfully, "The troublemaker is finally leaving. Mom, let's eat something good today."
Zhulan teased, "Did you hear what your sister-in-law said? Let's order the dishes. Your sister-in-law will pay for it."
Li was anxious. She had been cheated out of half a tael of silver by her mother-in-law last time. She felt the pain for a long time. "Mom, I won't let you bully me alone!"
Chang Lian touched his shriveled purse and said, "My sister-in-law is the richest person in the family."
Li's face darkened. She knew that Chang Lian was unwilling to give her all the money. She was anxious and said, "My mother has the most money."
Zhou Lao Er smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want to bully mother?"
Li glared, "Okay, they teamed up to bully her." She held the silver tightly and said, "That's not what I meant, mother. My feelings for you are clear to all."
With that, Li quickly stood up and ran away with Boss Zhou.
Chang Lian, “… … ..”
Zhou Laoer, “… … ..”
Oh my, my sister-in-law has learned her lesson. I guess she took the opportunity to run away!
Zhulan couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. She curled her lips and said, "Okay, stop bullying your sister-in-law. I'll pay for a good meal today."
Zhou Laoer, "... ..."
Chang Lian, Chang Zhi, "... ..."
Mother, don't you feel guilty for saying this? It was obviously you who started it, and you were the one who bullied me the most.
Xue Han giggled, and her grandchildren also laughed along. With a burst of laughter, everyone in the main hall was happy.
Wang Ru stood outside the Zhou family's gate, listening to the laughter in the yard, and felt like she was living in two different worlds. Inside the yard was the family love that she had always longed for but had never gotten. She was so jealous that her face turned red, and the warmth made her want to give up everything to destroy it.
Zhang Sanni's arm was so painful from being grabbed that she couldn't help but hiss. Wang Ru came back to her senses and said slowly, "Go back."
Zhang Sanni lowered her head to hide the hatred in her eyes. Wang Ru was still Wang Ru. She pretended to be weak these days, but her nature remained unchanged. Especially, she could trick her own sister into signing a death contract, which showed how cruel her heart was. Her parents had been servants, and she had known since she was a child that the lives of servants were worse than dogs, and those who signed a death contract were even worse than pigs and dogs. She only hated that her indenture had been tricked away from Master Shi by Wang Ru, and she had to be tied to Wang Ru.
Fifty taels of silver were newly deposited into the account. After dinner, Zhulan took the silver and returned to the house. "We have saved a lot of gold ingots this month. You can find a time to exchange them for gold and bring them back."
Zhou Shuren responded, "Okay, I'll go to the county bank tomorrow and exchange it for gold."
Zhulan put away the silver, took out three five-liang silver ingots and two cents of silver, and handed the silver ingot to the second brother, "You are most familiar with the nearby villages. Go buy three sheep and kill them for food when winter comes. Otherwise, sheep will be hard to buy when the price is high in winter."
Zhou Lao Er took a deep breath and said, "Mom, aren't three too many?"
He estimated that his family had earned a lot of money recently, but three sheep were too extravagant.
Zhulan explained: "We don't give gifts! Let's not talk about those far away. Your grandpa has always subsidized our family. Last year's mutton was given by your grandpa. This year, we must give your grandpa some. The clan leader and several elders will also give one or two pounds. The county magistrate will also give. We can't keep much for two sheep."
Zhou Laoer said, "Mom, aren't you buying three?"
"Keep one and use it as a dish for Chang Lian's wedding banquet next year. Prepare more fodder this year and take good care of the sheep. You can use them for the wedding banquet next year when they are fat. Otherwise, you won't be able to buy a good sheep now."
Zhou Laoer smiled and said, "Mom is the one who thinks long-term."
Zhu Lan, "I can't be too careful if I don't want to. After all, she is the county magistrate's daughter, and the wedding banquet can't be sloppy."
Zhou Laoer put away the silver and said, "Mom, I will definitely buy three good sheep."
"Well, don't worry about your work."
Only Zhou Laoer cheats people, and no one has ever been able to cheat Zhou Laoer, so she feels particularly relieved.
Zhulan gave two cents of silver to Li. Today's meal would not be charged, so she would treat everyone. The two silvers were used to buy two tables of delicious food. Wang Ru finally left from next door and was out of sight. It was indeed necessary to celebrate.
After receiving the money, Li knew that her mother-in-law was the best, unlike other people who bullied her, "Mom is still the best."
Zhulan, “… … ..”
This was forgotten. Today, she was the one who started the bullying. She laughed softly. It was good that Li was like this. Her anger came quickly and went away quickly. She didn't hold a grudge!
